MENTORING YOUNG LEADERS
Dr. Crawford Loritts, the president and founder of Beyond Our Generation, explains the importance of mentoring and passing on the faith to the next generation of Christian leaders.
Crawford emphasizes the biblical principle of life-on-life discipleship, where believers are called to pour into one another and model the love of Christ.
He describes the challenges facing the younger generation, such as the tendency to confuse exposure with experience and the need to develop a strong character that is greater than any platform or position.
God wants to synergistically use all of us to put wind in the sails of one another.
